MONDAY JULY 24,2006
 THOUGHT FOR TODAY: It's
useless to hold anybody to his word if he's in love, drunk or running for
office
Little Bobby came into the kitchen where
his mother was making dinner. His birthday was coming up and he thought this
was a good time to tell his mother what he wanted.
"Mom, I want a
bike for my birthday." Little Bobby was a bit of a troublemaker. He had
gotten into trouble at school and at home. Bobby's mother asked him if he
thought he deserved to get a bike for his birthday. Little Bobby said....,of
course, he thought he did.
Bobby's mother, wanted Bobby to reflect on his
behavior over the last year. "Go to your room, Bobby, and think about how you
have behaved this year.
Then write a letter to God and tell him why
you deserve a bike for your birthday." Little Bobby stomped up the steps to
his room and sat down to write God a letter.
Letter 1 Dear
God, I have been a very good boy this year and I would like a bike for
my birthday. I want a red one. Your friend, Bobby
Bobby knew
that this wasn't true. He had not been a very good boy this year, so he tore
up the letter and started over.
Letter 2 Dear God, This is your
friend Bobby. I have been a good boy this year and I would like a red bike
for my birthday. Thank you. Your friend Bobby
Bobby knew that this
wasn't true either. So, he tore up the letter and started
again.
Letter 3 Dear God, I have been an "OK "boy this year. I
still would really like a bike for my birthday. Bobby
Bobby knew he
could not send this letter to God either. So, Bobby wrote a fourth
letter.
Letter 4 God, I know I haven't been a good boy this year. I
am very sorry. I will be a good boy if you just send me a bike for my
birthday. Please! Thank you, Bobby
Bobby knew, even if it was true,
this letter was not going to get him a bike.
Now, Bobby was very
upset. He went downstairs and told his mom that he wanted to go to church.
Bobby's mother thought her plan had worked, as Bobby looked very sad. "Just
be home in time for dinner," Bobby's mother told him.
Bobby
walked down the street to the church on the corner. Little Bobby went into
the church and up to the altar. He looked around to see if anyone was
there. Bobby bent down and picked up a statue of the Virgin Mary. He slipped
the statue under his shirt and ran out of the church, down the street, into
the house, and up to his room. He shut the door to his room and sat down with
a piece of paper and a pen. Bobby began to write his letter to
God.
Letter 5 God, I'VE KIDNAPPED YOUR MAMA. IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER
AGAIN, SEND THE BIKE!

A man and his wife were having an
argument about who should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife
said, “You should do it, because you get up first, and then we don’t have to
wait as long to get our coffee.”
The husband said, “You are in charge of
the cooking around here so you should do it, because that is your job, and I
can just wait for my coffee.”Wife replies, “No, you should do it, and
besides it says in the Bible that the man should do the
coffee.”
Husband replies, “I can’t believe that! Show me.”
So she
fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of
several pages, that it indeed says, “HEBREWS.”

Forrest Gump died and went to heaven. When he got to the Pearly
Gates, Saint Peter told him that new rules were in effect due to the
advances in education on earth.
In order to gain admittance, a
prospective Heavenly Soul must answer three questions:
1. What are
two days of the week that begin with “T”? 2. How many seconds are in a
year? 3. What is God’s first name?
Forrest thought for a few minutes
and answered:
1. The two days of the week that begin with “T” are Today
and Tomorrow. 2. There are 12 seconds in a year. 3. God has two
first names, and they are Andy and Howard.
Saint Peter said, “Ok,
I’ll buy Today and Tomorrow, even though it’s not the answer I expected.
Technically, your answer is correct. But how did you get 12 seconds in a
year and why do you think God’s first name is either Andy or Howard?”
Forrest responded, “Well, January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd, and so
on.”
“Ok then, I give,” said Saint Peter. “But what about God’s first
name?”
Forrest said, “Well, from the song...Andy walks with me, Andy
talks with me, Andy tells me I am his own...And then from the prayer...Our
Father, who art in Heaven, Howard be thy name...”
Saint Peter
let him in without another word.

There were two lovers, who were really
into spiritualism and reincarnation. They vowed that if either of them died,
the one remaining would try to contact the partner in the world beyond
exactly 30 days after their death.
Unfortunately, a few weeks later,
the young man died in a car wreck. True to her word, his sweetheart tried to
contact him in the spirit world exactly 30 days later.
At the s?ance,
she called out, “John, John, this is Martha. Do you hear me?”A ghostly voice
answered her, “Yes Martha, this is John. I can hear you.”
Martha
tearfully asked, “Oh John, what is it like where you are?”
“It’s
beautiful. There are azure skies, a soft breeze, sunshine most of the
time.”
“What do you do all day?” asked Martha.
“Well, Martha, we
get up before sunrise, eat some good breakfast, and there’s nothing but
making love until noon. After lunch, we nap until two and then make love
again until about five. After dinner, we go at it again until we fall asleep
about 11 p.m.”
Martha was somewhat taken aback. “Is that what heaven
really is like?”
“Heaven? I’m not in heaven, Martha.”
“Well, then,
where are you?”
“I’m a rabbit in Arizona.”

A
juggler, driving to his next performance, is stopped by a traffic cop. “What
are these matches and lighter fluid doing in your car?” asks the
officer.
“I’m a juggler and I juggle flaming torches in my
act.”
“Oh yeah?” says the doubtful cop. “Lets see you do it.”
The
juggler gets out and starts juggling the blazing torches masterfully. A
couple driving by slows down to watch.
“Wow,” says the driver to his
wife. “I’m glad I quit drinking. Look at the test they’re giving

Late one night, a mugger wearing a ski
mask jumped into the path of a well-dressed man and stuck a gun in his ribs.
"Give me your money," he demanded.
Indignant, the affluent man
replied, "You can't do this - I'm a United States Congressman!"
"In
that case," replied the mugger, "give me MY money."

A
local United Way office realized that it had never received a donation from
the town's most successful lawyer. The person in charge of contributions
called him to persuade him to contribute.
"Our research shows that out of
a yearly income of at least $500,000, you give not a penny to charity.
Wouldn't you like to give back to the community in some way?"
The
lawyer mulled this over for a moment and replied, "First, did your research
also show that my mother is dying after a long illness, and has medical
bills that are several times her annual income?"
Embarrassed, the United
Way rep mumbled, "Um. . . no."
" - or that my brother, a disabled
veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?" The stricken United Way rep
began to stammer out an apology but was interrupted, "
" - or that my
sister's husband died in a traffic accident," the lawyer's voice rising in
indignation, "leaving her penniless with three children?!"
The
humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, said simply, "I had no
idea..."
On a roll, the lawyer cut him off once again: "So if I don't
give any money to them, why should I give any to you?!?"

A young female teacher was giving an
assignment to her 6th Grade class. It was a large assignment so she started
writing high up on the chalkboard. Suddenly there was a giggle from one of
the boys in the class.
She quickly turned and asked, "What's so funny
Michael?"
"Well teacher, I just saw one of your garters."
"Get out
of my classroom," she yells, "I don't want to see you for two
days."
The teacher turns back to the chalkboard. Realizing she had
forgotten to title the assignment; she reaches to the very top of the
chalkboard.
Suddenly there is an even louder giggle from another male
student. She quickly turns and asks,
"What's so funny
Tommy?"
"Well miss, I just saw both of your garters."
Again she
yells, "Get out of my classroom!" This time the punishment is more severe,
"I don't want to see you for two weeks."
Embarrassed and frustrated, she
drops the eraser when she turns around again. So she bends over to pick it
up. This time there is an burst of laughter from another male student. She
quickly turns to see little Johnny leaving the classroom.
"Where do
you think you are going?" she asks.
"Well teacher, from what I just saw,
my school year is over."

A preacher and an attorney arrived at
the Pearly Gates at the same time, and St. Peter showed them to their
quarters.
The preacher was taken to a small room with nothing but a
chair, a table, and a Bible.
The lawyer was then led to a massive
suite filled with women, wine, and a huge waterbed.
"Excuse me," said
the lawyer to St. Peter. "I'm not complaining, but shouldn't the preacher
have this room?"
St. Peter shook his head. "We have thousands of
preachers in heaven, but you're our first lawyer."

The
marriage between the elderly farmer and his young wife was not working out
too well, so the farmer consulted his doctor for advice.
“The next time
you’re down in the field plowing and feel a yearning for your wife.” said
the doctor, “don’t wait until lunch time or the end of the day, but quit
what you’re doing and go to the house.” “I tried that,” said the farmer,
“but by the time I get to the house, I am so tuckered out, it’s no
use.”
The doctor thought for a minute, “Take your shotgun with you when
you leave the house in the morning and if you feel the urge, shoot the gun
and she will come down there where you are.”
A few weeks later the
two men met on the street.
“How did it work out?” asked the
doctor.
“Fine, the first three days,” said the farmer, “then the hunting
season opened and I haven’t seen her since.” <>

A
couple were throwing a dinner party for all the major bigwigs in town. The
wife was very excited about the party and wanted everything to be just
perfect. At the very last minute, she realized that she didn't have any
escargot, so she asked her husband to run down to the beach with a bucket
and gather some snails.
Grudgingly, he agreed. He took the bucket, walked
out the door, down the steps, and out to the beach. As he was collecting
snails, he noticed a beautiful woman strolling alongside the water just a
little further down the beach. He kept thinking to himself, "Wouldn't it be
great if she would just come down the beach and talk to me."
He went
back to gathering the snails for the dinner party. All of a sudden he looked
up and the beautiful woman was standing over him. They got to talking and
she invited him back to her place for a drink. Well one thing led to
another, and the man ended up spending the night at her place. At 7 AM the
next morning he woke up and shouted, "Oh no! My wife's dinner
party!"
Quickly he gathered up all of his clothes, grabbed his bucket of
snails, ran out the door and down the beach. He ran up the stairs to his
beach house. He was in such a hurry when he got to the top of the stairs, he
dropped the bucket of snails, strewing snails all the way down the stairs.
Just then the door opened, and a very angry wife was standing over him
demanding to know where he had been all this time.
He looked at the
snails on the steps, then looked at his wife, then back at the snails and
cried, "Come on guys, we're almost there!"

The snow was coming down steadily and had been for
several hours. My partner had been plowing for a couple of hours already, and
I had just changed places with him and started to clear a new lot. I always
plow the access points to the lot last to keep people out of my way, so
here I am just getting started on this lot, which just happens to be a
car wash, and this car stops in the middle of the street and starts
honking and flashing his lights.
My partner gets out thinking that the
guy is having car trouble, so he goes to help while I continue plowing. He
comes back and says," you're not gonna believe it, he wants to wash his car."
I said, "Does he realize it's 28 degrees?" My partner replies, "Yes, he knows
but he just has to try it." Well, I clear him a path to the nearest wash bay
and continue to clear the lot, which takes roughly 45
minutes.
Meanwhile, after washing his car, the guy goes into the managers
office to talk over a cup of coffee. I leave the lot and go down the street
to another customer.
About 30 minutes later, I drive by the wash and
notice the same car is still there with its owner prying on his now frozen
doors. By the way this is a Taurus with plastic door handles. I pick up my
cell phone and beep the wash manager. He calls me back, and I tell him what
is going on. Just as he steps outside, still talking to me on the phone, the
guy breaks the door handle and goes flying into a snow drift loosing his
hat and glasses. After crawling around in the snow, he finds his hat,
full of snow, and moments later his glasses. Now the manager is on the
scene. He uses the hot pressure washer to steam open the passenger side
door and let the guy in. Now he starts the car to help melt the ice,
and again goes inside for coffee.
I am now plowing the lot directly
across the street, and I have been watching the whole thing from a distance.
My phone rings again and guess what? He let it run out of gas. The manager
takes a gas can up the street, brings back a couple of gallons of gas and
puts it in the car himself , we don't want to take any chances now, we just
want this guy to get home before he does some real damage. The guy starts his
car again, leaves the wash and drives away.
Does the story end
here............ NO!!!!!
He stops at the nearest gas station, fills
the car and drives away with the nozzle still in the tank tearing the pump
from its base. Talk about your bad days!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A hillbilly
was making his first visit to a hospital where his teenage son was about to have
an operation. Watching the doctor's every move, he asked, "What's
that?"
The doctor explained, "This is an anesthetic; after he gets this
he won't know a thing."
"Save your time, Doc," exclaimed the man, "he
don't know nothing
now." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The headwaiter of an
elegant restaurant recoiled in disgust as a man in boots, torn jeans and a
leather jacket approached him. "Hey, man," he said, "where's the
bathroom?"
"Go down the hall and turn left," replied the headwaiter,
"When you see the sign marked 'Gentlemen,' pay no attention to it and go right
inside."

Democratic party bigwig left his New York office to spy on the big Republican
rally being held in Times Square. While he was there, a mugger put a gun to his
head, forced him into an alley, and proceeded to rough him up while robbing him
of everything he owned.
His clothes rumpled and brow covered with sweat
he stumbled into Democratic headquarters, where his aides stared at him with
shock.
"What happened?" asked his secretary as she handed him a glass of
water. After he told them his frightening tale, the secretary asked, "Weren't
there cops around?"
"Of course there were," he replied.
"Then why
didn't you scream?"
"What?" he shot back. "And have the Republicans think
I was cheering for
them?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The
Catholic Church's air conditioning broke down, so they had to hire a man to
crawl around in the ducts and figure out what was wrong. As the man peeked
down through one of the vents in the sanctuary, he saw little old Mrs. Murphy
kneeling by the altar, apparently saying her rosary. Since the man was a
fundamental Baptist, he thought it'd be funny to try and mess with the lady's
mind. In his best authoritative voice, he said, "This is Jesus. Your prayers
will be answered." The little old lady didn't even blink, just kept on saying
her prayers. The man decided maybe she didn't hear him, and tried
again. "This is Jesus, the Son of God! Your prayers will be answered!"
Again, she didn't react at all. Mustering up a big breath of air, the
man decided to try again. "THIS IS JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD!
YOUR PRAYERS WILL BE ANSWERED!" The lady looks up and says, "SHUT UP!
I'M TALKINGTO YOUR
MOTHER!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rosey
wanted her husband to stop smoking so she sent him to the doctor. The doctor
gave him a box of these patches and said to use one a day. He said ok, and
took them home. Rosey asked him what the doctor said and he showed her the
patches and told her that the doctor said to use one a patch day. Rosey
commenced to sew one patch on each shirt he had. The both of them are still
trying to figure out how that's going to help him quit
smoking.

I
am sorry but after hearing they want to sing the National Anthem in Spanish -
enough is enough. No where did they sing it in Italian, Polish, Irish (Celtic),
German or any other language because of immigration. It was written by Francis
Scott Key and should be sung word for word the way it was written. The news
broadcasts even gave the translation -- not even close. Sorry if this offends
anyone but this is MY COUNTRY - IF IT IS YOUR COUNTRY SPEAK UP ---- please pass
this along~
I am not against immigration -- just come through
like everyone else. Get a sponsor; have a place to lay your head; have a job;
pay your taxes, live by the rules AND LEARN THE LANGUAGE as all other immigrants
have in the past -- and GOD BLESS AMERICA!
PART OF THE
PROBLEM
Think about this: If you don't want to forward this for fear of
offending someone-----YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM !!!!
Will we still be
the Country of choice and still be America
if we continue to make the changes forced on us by the people from other
countries that came to live in America
because it is the Country of Choice??????
Think about it!
All we
have to say is, when will they do something about MY RIGHTS? We've gone so
far the other way, bent over backwards to not offend anyone, that I am now being
offended. But it seems that no one has a problem with
that.
This says it all! This is an editorial written by an American citizen, published
in a Tampa
newspaper. He
did
quite a job; didn't he? Read on, please!
IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST
ADAPT.
I
am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual
or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, we have experienced a
surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans. However...... the dust from
the attacks had barely settled when the "politically correct! " crowd began
complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending
others.
I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against
anyone who is seeking a better life by coming
to
America.
Our population is almost entirely made up
of
descendants of immigrants. However, there are a
few
things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some
born here, need to understand. This idea of America
being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty
and
our national identity.
As
Americans.....we have our own culture, our own
society,
our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over
centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who
have sought freedom.
We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic,
Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to
become part of our society,
learn
the language!
"In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not
some
Christian, right wing, political slogan. We adopted this motto because Christian
men and women.......on Christian principles............. founded this
nation..... and
this
is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of
our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the
world as your new home.........because God is part of our culture.
If
Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't like Uncle
Sam,
then you should seriously consider a move to
another
part of this planet We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change,
and we really don't care
how
you did things where you came from. This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our
lifestyle. Our First
Amendment
gives every citizen the right to express his opinion and we will allow you every
opportunity to do so! But once you are done complaining....... whining...... and
griping.......about our flag......our pledge......our national motto.......or
our way of life...I highly encourage you to take advantage of one other Great
American Freedom....
THE
RIGHT TO LEAVE.
It
is Time for America
to Speak up If you agree -- pass
this along; if you don't agree -- delete
it!

**** TODAY'S USELESS FACT ****
What really
happens if you don't pay a parking ticket?
Let's face it, if Osama bin Laden and a meter maid both came strolling
toward your car, you'd probably think, "Oh no, here comes a meter maid."
Parking tickets -- a nuisance to some,
source of nightmares to others. So why pay? For one thing, many states, such as
California, won't renew your car registration if you have outstanding tickets.
According to the Los Angeles Parking Violations Bureau, your tax refund can also
be withheld. And consider the fines. San Francisco, for example, adds an
additional $25 after 21 days of non-payment, another $35 after 50 days. Other
cities, like Seattle, tack on similar amounts.
Many municipalities send
unpaid tickets to collection agencies, which can affect your credit rating.
Roanoke has taken to public shaming. Even worse, if you have five or more unpaid
citations, that city will employ the dreaded wheel immobilization device, aka
"The Boot." Three unpaid tickets will get you booted in Denver, Phoenix, and
Philadelphia. LA and San Francisco clamp down after five. If you get booted in
San Francisco, you have 72 hours to pay what you owe plus $75 for removal. After
that, a worst-case scenario ensues: Your car can be towed. The fee for that is
$184.75. If it's impounded for more than four hours, charges accrue at $35.75
per day, plus fees.
Boise recently offered an amnesty for scofflaws. But
don't count on that where you live. If you can't pay the fine...don't do the
crime, bro.
